The Katapayadi Sankhya system is an ancient Indian numerical encoding method in which Sanskrit consonants are assigned numbers from 0 to 9, while vowels are ignored. This system was used extensively in astrology, classical music, mathematics, and spiritual literature to encode words and mantras into numerical vibrations.
Katapayadi Number Assignment Table

- K = 1
- R = 2
Digit Sequence: 8 8 8 8 1 8 5 0 8 1 2
